Today, the Trail Blazers will fly across the country to play one game versus the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. It’s a game that was supposed to be played on Jan. 26 at the start of a four-game Eastern Conference road trip before being postponed due to a blizzard (or at least, the threat of a blizzard). And since both teams still have something to play for, the Trail Blazers will board a four hour flight to New York Sunday morning, play the Nets Monday night and they’ll take a four and a half hour flight right back to Portland. Outside of exhibitions played on other continents, it’s about as far as you can travel for one NBA game.

But those flight will be a little lighter than usual, as the team announced today that LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum and Chris Kaman will all sit out Monday night’s game to rest various injuries. While the team didn’t say explicitly that all three players would not travel to New York, Amy Schwartz of 750 The Game reported Saturday night that all three would stay back in Portland, which makes sense. No reason to fly cross-country, twice, to watch the game from a bench in Brooklyn. We have plenty of benches here in Oregon.

Don't trust Nets to cover such a huge spread.

Should have rested the players last night at home if you were going to give away a road game. You are begging to go 1 and 1 in these two games. Probably had a better chance to rest players and win against the Pelicans at home versus cross country on the road

This was a game they were having to make up due to the blizzards earlier in the year. The players sitting have nagging injuries, and they didn't think that traveling with the team would help them too much. I believe the Blazers are coming right back to Portland after the game.
